Today, we join in raising awareness for World Diabetes Day. This year’s theme reminds us of the importance of access to diabetes care, education, and prevention because no one should face diabetes alone.

At Nurse Next Door, we proudly support clients and families living with diabetes every day. From medication reminders and meal planning to encouragement and education, our nurses and caregivers help empower individuals to live healthy, independent, and vibrant lives.

Let’s take today to learn, share, and support one another because together, we can make a difference. 💪

Today, we pause to honour and remember the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and love.

We are deeply grateful to those who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy today. Many of the wonderful clients and families we care for have incredible stories of service, resilience, and dedication, and we hold them close in our hearts today and always.

Let us take a moment to reflect, to listen, and to remember. ❤️

Lest we forget. 🌺

🍁 November is Fall Prevention Month! 🍁

At Nurse Next Door Penticton, we believe that safety and independence go hand in hand — and that preventing falls is one of the most important ways to help our clients continue living comfortably at home.

👣 Did you know?

1 in 3 adults over 65 experiences a fall each year.

Most falls happen right at home — and many are preventable!

This month, our team is focusing on:
✅ Supporting safe mobility and exercise routines
✅ Identifying tripping hazards around the home
✅ Encouraging proper footwear and good lighting
✅ Promoting confidence and independence through care and companionship

Small changes can make a big difference. Let’s work together to keep our seniors safe, active, and thriving this fall — because everyone deserves to age happily and confidently at home. 💗

Happy Halloween season! 🎃

Making sure everyone in the family is part of the fun is what the holiday is all about. Even with mobility or health concerns, you can easily include your senior loved ones.

Here are 3 simple ways to bring the fun right to them:

The Candy Czar: Set up a comfy, safe chair near the door and let them handle handing out the treats. It gives them a wonderful sense of purpose and interaction.

The Creative Director: Involve them in decorating a small, indoor area. Simple, safe tasks like placing pre-carved pumpkins or hanging lightweight indoor decorations are perfect.

Cozy Movie Night: Host a themed movie marathon! Think blankets, hot cider, and non-scary classics. It’s a low-key, inclusive way to enjoy the evening together.

🧠 What Is ALS?
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Over time, it leads to loss of muscle control, making everyday activities more difficult.

💗 At Nurse Next Door, we believe in celebrating life even in the face of difficult diagnoses.
Our caregivers are trained to provide compassionate support to individuals living with ALS—ensuring safety, comfort, and dignity at every stage of their journey.

Whether it's help with mobility, communication tools, or just a warm presence, we’re here to help clients live more comfortably at home.

Are you running on empty? Caregiving is an act of love, but it shouldn't cost you your well-being. ❤️

If you're experiencing any of the warning signs in this post, please know that it is okay to seek support. Caregiver burnout is real, and it often starts with feeling guilty about taking time for yourself.

We are here to help you recharge. Our compassionate team provides Respite Care—a temporary, vital break that allows you to step away, breathe, and return refreshed.

Taking time for yourself is not selfish; it’s essential for you and your loved one.
